17 'Game of Thrones' Characters We All Wish Could Be Resurrected

When it comes to the death toll on Game of Thrones, there are few shows on television that can match its grisly and gruesome numbers (except for The Walking Dead, naturally). However, that doesn't seem to ever lighten the blow when a beloved character gets nixed. Fans of the fantasy drama have come to expect that their favorite could be next... especially if that person is a Stark. That family really can't seem to catch a break. And, since we have to say goodbye to so many of our favorites, there are quite a few Game of Thrones characters we want to see resurrected.

Season 5 ended with the most shocking death in the entire series — Jon Snow's murder by the hand of his own men of the Night's Watch. However, many viewers are holding onto the theory that Jon Snow could very likely be resurrected. There are signs all over the show and the book series that he's actually a Targaryen, and, therefore, could be brought back by fire. He could also be brought back by the powers of Melisandre, who conveniently showed up to The Wall just in time for the mutiny.

It's going to be a long wait before we find out Jon Snow's true fate. Until then, let's take a look at all of the characters we all wish could be brought back to life. Sure, many of them are pretty far fetched, but a gal can dream, right?

4. Catelyn Stark

5. Mance Rayder

Just when he and Snow were figuring things out, but Stannis had to go and ruin everything! Gah! If he and Jon come back, the living may actually have a chance at taking on the Night's King. I also appreciated the complexity of his character, and the arc of his relationship to Jon Snow — there was a lot of humanity and respect at the core, which this show could use a lot more of.

6. Karsi

7. Oberyn Martell

This one I still can't get over. He was so charismatic and open to negotiations. In a series of hard heads, he was a welcome change. It was also so refreshing to see a man fight for his sister's honor the way he did. Way to squash his skull, Mountain.
